two weeks already

Two weeks ago I thwarted the evil plan for a C-section and naturally delivered my babies without any complications (Benjamin and Corrigan had their own ideas about how they wanted to arrive in this world: fast and furious!).

But that was two weeks ago. I can hardly believe two weeks have passed by. Their birth seems both ages ago and only yesterday. The time has passed in a blur of diapers, laundry, breastfeeding, swaddling, shushing, and greeting so many wonderful friends who've stopped by with gifts, well-wishes and nourishing dinners. But most delightful, there has been non-stop cuddling with these two new fascinating creatures. Oh my, we are all in love...

I know your feelings exactly, except that my little boy was born 4 weeks ago today! He too has a sister that is five years old, though her maternal instinct is not as developed as Mayumi's, my girl is still a little cautious, almost nervous of hurting him. But each day she gets braver in the baby tasks she helps me with. It's lovely seeing her learn new things and gradually get used to being a family of four!

They are so so sweet. I still can't believe we both had twins. I want to cry, I'm so happy for you! I want to come down there so badly!

They are so absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to hear your birth story. I can't believe you were able to do it without a C section! Holy cow!

They are so precious!! I can't wait to see them in real.

Oh, they're beautiful! I love seeing pictures of them. I don't know if you feel this way, but I find that I am enjoying Jane even more and savoring every moment since I know how fast they grow up! I'm worse than a first-time parent as I go nuts over every little noise and move she makes! I'm glad you're enjoying them so much. wish I could cuddle them as well!

It seems like forever before I'll be able to see them. I can hardly wait. What kind of baseball gloves should I bring? For righties or lefties?
